The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbcck & Cooke company of Portland, said: Wheal Crop news overnight was more optimistic, including beneficial rains In part of the Canadian northwest and an estimate by the Kansas Board of agricul ture making the wheat crop of that state 147.OOO.00O bushels or 37.0O0.O00 bushels over that Indicated a month ago, and the second largest on record. Temperatures In the northwest were low enough to give hopes that the black rust epidemic had not spread. The foregoing influenced selling at the opening which resulted in losses of seven, cents per bushel, but which were recovered before the close. Notwith standing withdrawal of British buyers from the market, prices at the seaboard and the gulf were fairly well maintained. Country offerings reported Quite liberal, particularly in the southwest where cash markets wero easy and lower. Bids to arrive, sent out from Chicago, were re duced two cents from yesterday's basis. Corn Liquidating sales at the opening were well absorbed and before the close short covering took place on a broad scale. Influential news was lacking and the market was largely a question of pit conditions. Receipts fell off somewhat locally, but the demand was not ag gressive and spot offerings brought about yesterday's prices. ' Offerings of Texas corn to come to this market were without influence. It is very apparent that the movement from now on will steadily de crease as wheat must unquestionably take preference. Whether the demand will exceed the supply Is problematical, but the fact remains that the recent run continued mucn longer than the most sanguine bear anticipations and has filled a lot of holes in commercial channels at the samo time that Argentine importations were taking care 01 eastern requirements. It Is our opinion that the market was entitled to bouo recovery ana this was based on technical conditions. It would not be surprising; to see the upturn somewhat ex tended. uai" ronowea tne trend or corn ex clusively, ignoring the shading of cash offerings in the local sample pit. Weather and crop reports continue very favorable. Although further upturns may occur 'in sympathy with corn It Is probable there will be little incentive to promote ag gressive operations on the constructive side. Provisions Values suffered for lack or support early, with selling scattered and largely in way of liquidation. At the de cline offerings were well taken and we look for a moderate upturn.

(Spe cial.) The Northwestern Miller. In its weekly review of the flour trade, says: "Resumption of option trading in the wheat markets had very little influence upon flour and the trade remains as un settled as In the uncertain period Imme diately preceding the reopening of dealing in futures. Buying Is being done only to fill Immediate needs and .there Is a gen eeral feeling that prices will go lower. This was given strength by the decline in wheat the end of last week. Flour prices fluctuated widely, but the weeek's level was nominally higher. "There was a general improvement In milling output during the week, largely due to a desire to clean up on old con tracts before entering upon the new crop. Spring wheat mills reported an output amounting to 4S per cent of capacity, Kansas and Oklahoma hard winter wheat mills 48 per- cent, and the Ohio valley soft winter wheat mills 45."

Buying Develops on Decline and Covering by Shorts Aids in Recovery of Prices. CHICAGO. July 21. As a result of the Kansas state report, showing a big In crease of the estimated yield of wheat in Kansas, the wheat market today fell 7 cents, but rallied later on covering by shorts. The close was nervous at cent net decline with December $2.56 and March $2.61. Corn gained 1 cent to 2 cents and oats cent to 1 k cents. In provisions the outcome varied from 20 cents loss to 30 cents advance. At the start selling ot wheat was gen eral, the majority ot traders inclining to the view that 37,000,00O bushels enlarge ment of the Kansas yield compared w ita a month ago would more than offset what ever damaxe was done by black rust in the northwest. Keports or welcome rams over the drouth district in Canada tended also to emphasize bearish sentiment. On the decline in values, however, persistent buy ing developed with a big elevator interest in the lead. Then snorts started to pro tect themselves and found little for sale. Nearly ail of the early setback was thus overcome. Corn and oats were hoisted by flurried covering on the part of shorts, who at first had things their own way, but later encountered heavy commission house de- DAILT METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND.
